    the original question was not intended to insinuate that anyone should have a crash mat in lieu of a spotter

    agreed, empy. i didn’t take the original question as an insinuation, but after i read my reply it seemed i came off as condoning the use of just crash mats and not both. NOT !! wanted to make myself clear…

    and after reading more of the threads here, i do have to qualify my stand on crash mats somewhat : they absolutely are not a stand-alone solution, and spotters MUST be in place for students learning new tricks ‘above ground’. but still, there is something psychologically comforting for some about the crash mat that enables them to ‘go for’ tricks they might ordinarilay hesitate to try….

    i am a FIRM believer in crash mats, and have just acquired our first for our studio. we will acquire anothe 2 shortly. i also believe the thicker, the better ! we would have preferred 6", but found a terrific deal on 5" mats at yogadirect.com. HIGHLY recommend for any studio offering more than just basic spins !!!

    the response from our students has been gleeful overjoy !

    to me, they run small. i’m normally a 6 or 6.5. i bought 7s, and they are almorst the right size. if they had 7.5 i would get those. to me, ellie’s are a more comfy fit. i think the toe part of the pleasers is a bit narrower than the ellies, which i think contributes to the ‘toes hanging over the edge’ thing on the pleasers ….

    at our studio 2 of the poles are spinny, so that as students advance they have an option to also learn spinny.

    voted for ya ! good luck !!!!

  • it’s unethical to work people like that and not compensate them, so run ! you will find the right opportunity at the right time. good luck ! and how about offering private pole lessons in your own space ?

    we are a new studio and so only just begun to host workshops. and what a great place we started ! just last week amber richard conducted 3 of hers: conditioning & flexibility, choreography and polished pole. we had multi levels of ability present, all of which she addressed. and all levels were able to come away with having learned something. we can’t speak yet about any of the other workshops, but can totally recomend Amber’s !

    July 11, 2010 at 1:48 am in reply to: Your dream pole bra

    well, since my boobs are 52 years old and several degrees south of where they started, i would like a pole bra that lifts em up, doesn’t push em under my chin, and holds em in place (maybe more generous cup cut?) when i invert. and i LOVE descalzada’s idea of some kinda unitard-type thingy that exposes your side skin whilst tastefully draping the front tummy bits that have seen better days…. for me, that idea would be nice as a kind of bra-top (like victoria secret’s ones). and that’s my 2 cents ! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
